Description

In this solo episode, I share a deeply personal and powerful story that’s rarely talked about: the long, confusing, and frustrating journey of living with undiagnosed health challenges, until everything finally starts to make sense.

From being a flexible, active kid and passionate dancer to collapsing in a nightclub and being brushed off by medical professionals, this is a raw and real account of what it’s like to go through injury, chronic pain, and surgery without answers, all while trying to live a full life and enjoy my passions.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • What it was like growing up with a “bendy” body and being dismissed as just flexible
  • The traumatic moment a dislocated kneecap changed everything
  • Years of misdiagnosis and the emotional toll of being dismissed by medical professionals
  • What finally led to the truth
  • Discovering a diagnosis that finally made everything make sense


Whether you’ve experienced similar symptoms, are navigating chronic illness, or support someone who is, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not imagining it and that you’re not alone.
